Research Content
Our approach to wheat variety development is based on a firm foundation of field testing, taking advantage of a network of 14 trial locations in eastern Colorado – 9 of which are hosted by cooperating wheat producers. Excellent facilities on the CSU campus, including state-of-the-art greenhouse, end-use quality testing, doubled haploid, and molecular genetics/genomics laboratories, provide us the necessary tools to develop improved varieties using the most modern technologies. Our program is staffed by extremely dedicated and experienced research associates and we have at our disposal the necessary facilities and infrastructure to ensure success.

With decades of continuous wheat breeding activity, we continue to enjoy the excellent support provided through the partnership between CSU and the wheat industry in Colorado. Funding for our program comes from a combination of state and federal funds provided by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station (CSU AES) and Colorado wheat industry groups, including the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee (CWAC) and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation (CWRF).
